Leading the way with
metering solutions
The Square D exclusive double-headed
VISI-TITE Nut eliminates the need for
special tools or time-consuming torque
readings. When these double-headed nuts
are tightened, the outer head twists off at the
proper torque for the connection, leaving a
single nut for future maintenance. A red
indicator remains in position until the outer
head twists off.

Installation is simplified
by several key features.
Mounting methods include
a separate mounting
channel and rotating
mounting feet to simplify
mounting, drilling, and
anchoring. No disassembly
is required to reposition
and the device does not
have to be moved to drill
into mounting holes.
A swing-up rain channel
also provides easy access
to the enclosure during
wiring.

Phase balancing of networked

metering applications is
essential to ensure proper
system functioning and pre-
vent transformer overloads.
EZ METER-PAK Meter
Centers provide this level
of protection by leaving the
factory phase balanced to
meet typical job require-
ments. This design also
allows individual meter
socket phase balancing
when required.

molded case switches, pullouts, fused, and not-
fused. An exclusive mounting bracket is also
available to simplify installation on stucco and
lapped-siding projects.
